The domain debian.org contains official Debian services, whereas 
debian.net contains services related to but not officially Debian.

There are no such guarantees (from Debian, at least) for debian.net 
services, so you should consult whoever runs that service - and beware 
that it can change, so if you get guarantees from current provider then 
you should probably also setup some checks for the host shifting its 
provider.
